Station Eleven, the details in the cover. In todays writing, the author doesn’t get to design their cover art. For some that is very disappointing and even for me as well.

Jesus’ longest prophecy about the time of the end is found in the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, with each giving their own accounts of the day that they were with Him on the Mount of Olives. It is commonly referred to as The Olivet Prophecy, and it is an overview of the circumstantial events that will lead to Jesus’ return. This prophecy was given during the week before His crucifixion, and it is pivotal to understanding the future events that will affect the entire world. The prophecy

The Walking Dead, Timothy Morton’s Hyperobjects and Lars Von Trier’s film Melancholia, all open with the end of the world as their starting points to begin their narrative, aiming to demonstrate how the end of contemporary time, as familiar to both the characters in the show, as well as Morton and Trier’s audiences (us), are forced to adapt, alter, and change the way in which we perceive the world, and act in order to survive in our new conditions.

The Apocalypse of William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man. (William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, p. 7) In 1980, William S.
